Senamirmir Projects: Typography







 

 



WashRa Transformer, WashRa Transformer is a tool that converts documents written with WashRa 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 fonts to Unicode-Ethiopic documents. The transformation is done by converting each character from WashRa ASCII code to Unicode-Ethiopic character and by modifying the font definitions to the new WashRa 4.0 fonts, which support Unicode-Ethiopic character set standard. It is an open-source project distributed under GPL license.

WashRa 4.0, which consists of a set of Ethiopic fonts and keyboard layout, works with Unicode compatible programs for the production of documents, web pages, emails, and other contents. It is now an open-source project distributed under GPL license.

Ethiopic Typeface: All the fonts distributed under WashRa and more are discussed here. You may download these fonts either in this section or under WashRa.

Yigezu's Typography: Dedicated to Ato Yigezu Bisrat, an artist, educator, and more importantly a typographer who made a magnificent contribution to Ethiopic typography.

Ethiopic Script: This article discusses the history of Ethiopic script, the evolution of its character sets and writing system including the continued ill fated attempt to modify the structure of the script, and finally the standardization of the script in Unicode. [Coming Soon]
